Over $3,250,000 has been raised by Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last eight years, and yet many people who will buy these holidays stickers at this ninth annual sale do not know how this idea originated. While Red Cross Seals really date back to the Civil War when "Charity Stamps" were first used, the firs campaign to sell holiday stickers for the tuberculosis fight was only nine years ago in Deleware. Miss Emily P. Bissel of Wilmington read an article by Jacob Riis describing stamps used for tuberculosis work in Norway, and she conceived the idea of a similar plan here. Single handed, she launched a sale which resulted in $3,000 clear money. When Miss Bissel tried to con- ! vince the American Red Cross that ! this idea should be made national as KAMELA CORRESPONDENCE ' Kamela, Ore., Jan. 2. (Special) Eng.

Sponts BILLY MISKE HAS ARRIVED BY H. C. HAMILTON. (United Press Staff Correspondence.) New York, Jan. 2. Billy Miske, for years only a mediocre middleweight, has arrived. He's a light heavyweight now and he's spending most of Ida time wrecking the hopes of others in the same brigade. A few nights ago Miske fought Jack Dillon, the terrible Hoosier light heavyweight. Miske didn't beat Dil lon, but he did make tilings so inter esting that if Dillon hadn't fought back with all the speed and science he possessed Indiana would have mourned a dethroned idol. They'rj trying now to match the two for a return battle and if it goes through there will be a Tegular old-fashioned slam-bang tussle, and somebody is pretty certain to get hurt. Miske isn't clever. He's almost clum sy, but he's one of the clumsy boys who gets results. He has a long, sneaky left that stabs in and out, mak ing it decidedly uncomfortable for tho men at the other end of the arm. Ho pestered Dillon with it until Dillon got mad and developed a habit of I reaching up and pulling it off his I chin, then whipping over one of his own. Recently Miske fought Battling Le vinskey, who has quite a left of his own. But Miske matcned letts wim him and proved he was good at it as Levinskey. Ho plastered Lcvinskey all over the ring and earned a clean cut decision. Miske is being seriously considered as the logical choice to send all the big heavies against in an attempet to get some one to send against Jess Willard.

Saturday nght's basketball game be tween Imbler and Summorville was a one-sided affair, the visitors being a newly organized team, while Imbler' players were more experienced, and the score became so uneven that spec tators lost enthusiasm.
